← TechnologyWhich machining error emerges when a lathe's gib screws loosen?
A)Chatter due to reduced damping✓
B)Built-up edge formation increases
C)Workpiece hardness abruptly increases
D)Oxidation accelerates on tool insert
💡 Explanation
Chatter arises from reduced damping when gib screws loosen, because decreased stiffness allows self-excited vibrations during cutting. Therefore, chatter is the primary error, rather than built-up edge because gib screws control static stiffness, not adhesion.
